London is a fascinating city. Most people end up either loving it or hating it. I simply love it. Spending five years in the city was a great experience. Three years spent studying at Saint Martin’s, two years working. The majority of photography work I did at that time was mostly editorial, with emphasis on London’s music scene. Sverre Ole Drønen, aka droneland, a brilliant music journalist and fellow Norwegian, teamed up and we produced editorial content for Norwegian magazines and newspapers.

Concert photography still have the same rules, images for the first three songs, no flash. That’s it. For the interviews, keep gear to a minimum as we never knew exactly how much time we would get. An assigned 30 minutes slot could easily be reduced to 5 minutes if they where behind schedule.

All images in this post have been photographed with analogue film and scanned on a film scanner. The films where pushed to the limits, (Push processing) to be able to photograph in low light without the use of flash.
